Reading 5
1. What is your favorite type of literature to read (magazine, newspaper, novels, nonfiction, poetry, etc.)? I enjoy fictional novels and short stories the most. 2. What is your favorite novel? I normally answer this question with “Ishmael” by Daniel Quinn but also enjoy Orwell, Bukowski, Atwood, Irving, S. Thompson, and many others. 3. Do [...]
I Didn’t Want These Urges
Last night I met a group of friends at The Rio to celebrate a friend finishing the bar exam. Soon after that we went to Nallen’s Irish Pub and had a couple of beers. I ended up getting home relatively early. And my stomach full of alcohol was giving strong urges to call Sabrina. I [...]
Time For Crock-Pots
On Saturday after having breakfast over at my brothers and taking cat naps all afternoon I went to the 10th annual chili cook-off. Time for crock-pots, beano ©, homebrew, caber-toss and tandem saw competitions, campfires, friends and plenty of partying. The chili cook-off is one of my favorite annual parties. This tradition started with about [...]
Damn! I’m Getting Old.
After work on Friday I went over to my brothers place. From their, a group of us went out to Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom to see Fishbone. I haven’t seen Fishbone play since my college days when they came in town for Thanksgiving. It’s been maybe 5 or 6 years since I’ve seen them last. Fishbone [...]
Stifle Any Anger
Last night I went to Tommy’s Thai for dinner with my pops. Tommy’s never fails to satisfy. After dinner I got a call from Sabrina. She was a little drunk and wanted to see me. It was kinda unnerving but not nearly as hard as I thought it would be. In fact it was actually [...]
Possesion 5
1. What is your most prized material possession? That’s a hard one. Maybe my shoebox full of photographs. The memories contained within are irreplaceable. I also have a little black box that contains all sorts of little treasured items and reminders of past events. 2. What item, that you currently own, have you had the [...]
Mostly Lacked Real Substance
A couple of minutes ago I had my first communication via email with Sabrina in a long while. It was cold, distant, unneccessary and mostly lacked real substance. But still, for some reason, it increased the speed of my heart and turned my stomach a little bit. I’m so tired right now. I got little [...]
Mates Of State
Saturday night, after nursing my hangover all afternoon, I went to my old roommate’s engagement party. It was pretty fun, but nothing too exciting. The usual crowd was there. I got to see the Rod family’s new house, it was really cute and I’m sure I’ll be spending plenty of time in their backyard this [...]
Good Times Compounded On Good Times
So I survived this last weekend relatively unscathed. Actually, it was really a great weekend if you don’t include Valentines Day. As you can see from previous posts I wasn’t really looking forward to the 24 hours devoted to the celebration of love. I knew days before hand that I was simply going to wallow [...]

My Bitter Valentine II
Happy overdone, unimaginative, consumer-oriented and entirely arbitrary, manipulative & shallow, interpretation of romance day. Love, another infinitely important concept lost to a holiday wrapped around commercialism, consumerism, and (gasp!) cynicism.

Blog 5
1. Explain why you started to journal/blog. I originally started in order to tech myself html. Blogging looked like a fun, personal, and entertaining way to do it. 2. Do people you interact with day to day or family members know about your journal/blog? Why or why not? No, nobody I know reads this. This [...]

How To Crack An Egg
I caught Sabrina on AMC last night. It seemed fitting for the times so I stayed up late and watched it all. I miss you Sabrina, wherever you are. This quote from the movie seemed especially appropriate- Bonjour, mesdames et monsiuers. Yesterday we have learned the correct way how to boil water. Today we will [...]
